Abstract
Very low concentrations of somatostatin (S-14) strongly potentiate the in vitro aggregation induced by collagen, ristocetin and arachidonic acid, but not that induced by ADP or epinephrine, in both human platelet rich plasmas and gel-filtered platelet preparations. Desensitization phenomena may be induced either by repeated addition of S-14 or long lasting contact between S-14 and platelets.
